With a Defense of Pride from the Periphery, Seis É D+ is Champion of the Block Parade in Rio Branco

The Seis É D+ block won the Rio Branco Carnival parade, celebrating the culture and pride of peripheral communities through their performance.

After being postponed due to rain, the Seis É D+ block clinched victory in the Rio Branco Carnival parades on Tuesday night, bringing home their seventh title. Their thematic performance, titled "Favela ou Periferia: a origem não define meu futuro" (Favela or Periphery: origin does not define my future), was the last to take the stage, showcasing vibrant samba-enredo reflective of social issues such as culture and education.

The parade featured elaborate floats and costumes that highlighted significant social themes, including a tribute to educator Paulo Freire. Their samba-enredo emphasized the idea that the favela is a cradle of culture, reinforcing the narrative that communities often viewed as marginalized contribute richly to society. This year's performance was built on a legacy, as they had previously won in 2025 with a tribute to the history of the Carnival.

Following the win, the president of Seis É D+ emphasized that the title was a testament to the dedication and unity of the group's members. Their success not only celebrates their artistic expression but also serves as a powerful reminder of the cultural significance of peripheries in Brazilian society, reinforcing their identity and pride through the arts.
